There's Still Hope for You | Tanner Bezet

Tanner Bezet preaches from Luke 24 (the Walk to Emmaus) to show that Jesus meets discouraged people where they are and offers renewed hope. He walks through the Emmaus story: the risen Jesus joins two travelers who are walking away in despair, opens Scripture to them, and their hearts are changed when he breaks bread.

When God is Late | Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from John 11 (the story of Lazarus) to address what to do when God seems late. He argues that Jesus' delay was purposeful: God sometimes waits so a greater glory, transformation, or platform for the gospel can emerge.

When God says Take the Risk | Grant Troutt

Grant Troutt preaches through John 2:1-11, Jesus' first sign at the wedding in Cana, to show how Jesus calls us into risky obedience that reveals his glory. He traces the scene - Mary's plea, Jesus' cryptic response, the servants filling jars 'to the brim,' and the master of the feast declaring the best wine saved for last - and argues that the miracle happens when servants release what they have to Jesus in faith.

How to Have Great Joy | Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 2 on how the Christmas announcement promises "great joy," and he explains how that joy is different from mere happiness. He argues joy is found first in a person - Jesus - not in circumstances, and illustratively points to Paul in prison (Philippians) as someone who exemplified joy apart from good happenings.

The Risk of Not Following Jesus | Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches that Christians too often 'predecide' what God can do by praying only for things they could accomplish themselves. Using the Roman centurion in Matthew 8 as his primary example, he argues that an "Only God" life requires unrelenting hope and a willingness to take risky steps that force God to act.

Facing Giants | Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from 1 Samuel 17 (David and Goliath) to show how God calls ordinary people to face extraordinary 'giants.' He argues fear often sidelines us because we are self-focused instead of God-focused, and reminds listeners that victory belongs to the Lord. Using David's shepherd-season as an example, he urges faithfulness in small tasks, community support, and remembering past deliverances to build courage.

Filling in the Gap | Gerald Fadayomi

Gerald Fadayomi preaches from John 6 about what fills the gap between our expectations and our experience when life (or God) doesn’t show up the way we hoped. He points out common responses people put in that gap - anger, doubt, shame, and control - and warns those choices lead to walking away rather than growing.

Meet Me In The Garden - Maddy Herrin

Maddy Herrin preaches from Isaiah 51 about returning to the 'garden' - a biblical picture for intimacy with God - and invites listeners to meet God there daily. She contrasts shallow fellowship (talking about God) with true fellowship (seeking God), and lays out practical elements that make a spiritual garden thrive: Jesus as living water and light, Scripture and prayer as soil and nutrients, the Spirit as air circulation, repentance/pruning for pest control, and community as protection.

When God Gives You More Than You Can Handle - Grant Skeldon

Grant Skeldon challenges the common saying "God won't give you more than you can handle," calling it "almost true." He argues that the Bible depicts people repeatedly put into situations bigger than they could manage so God can build faith, character, and dependence on him - not to abandon them. Skeldon outlines six spiritual seasons (dry, waiting, grinding, testing, warring, rejoicing), describes signs and temptations for each, and explains the work God intends in them.

It's Only Crazy Until It Happens - Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 8 (the centurion story) as part of the "Only God" series, arguing that God wants the credit for things in our lives and often works miraculously to restore creation to its intended state. He explains that Jesus' miracles are restorative - pointing back to Genesis (creation) and forward to the redeemed future - and that faith grows by looking at Jesus, thinking like Jesus, and then acting.

Get Your Hopes Up - Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from John 2 (the wedding at Cana) to launch the "Only God" series, inviting the church to expect things only God can do. He focuses on Mary’s faithful persistence: even when Jesus says, “My hour has not yet come,” she tells the servants, “Do whatever he tells you,” and Jesus miraculously turns water into wine.

Build The Boat - Noah Herrin

Noah Herrin preaches from Genesis about Noah as an example of steadiness and obedience. He argues that God often calls people to long, thankless tasks - “build the boat” - and the measure of success is faithfulness, not applause or visible results.

You're Already There - Camilo Buchanan

Camilo Buchanan preaches that because of what Jesus has already done we are already seated with him in the heavenly places, and living in that reality should change how we respond to life now. He walks through Luke 7 (the healing of the centurion's servant) and Ephesians 2 to show that faith trusts Jesus authority and rests in what God has already accomplished for us and for our future.

Audacious Faith - Grant Skeldon

Grant Skeldon preaches that Christians should adopt an audacious posture of assumption - assuming God's power and his good character even when circumstances (or past disappointments) suggest otherwise. He uses Gospel stories (the woman who touched Jesus, the centurion, the paralyzed man lowered through the roof) to show that bold expectation of God often invites miraculous action.
